1) The hypotenuse side will ALWAYS be the the side w/ the radical 2.
2) So if you want to find the HYPOTENUSE of an ISOSCELES triangle, you MULTIPLY one of the LEGS by the the square root of 2.
3) If you want to find the LEG of an ISOSCELES triangle, you DIVIDE the HYPOTENUSE by the square root of 2.
***** Hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle= one leg divided by square root of 2.
***** Leg of an isosceles triangle= hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2.

How do you find the side of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
What is the length of the longest side in an isosceles right triangle?
The longest length would be the hypotenuse. You can use SOHCAHTOA to find the length.
How do you find the area of an isosceles triangle with a base of length 7 cm and congruent sides of length 6 cm?
7X6/2
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?
Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
Is it possible to find the area of a triangle giving the length of one specified side?
Yes providing that it is an equilateral triangle or a a right angle isosceles triangle other wise it's not possible
How do you find the side of an isosceles triangle?

Find length of the base if perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 70 in?
That's not enough information to solve the problem.
How can you find the length of the 2 sides of an isosceles triangle when you know the base and the height?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
Why can equilateral triangle called an isosceles?
That's because it is possible to find two sides that have the same length.
How do you find the area of an isosceles tringle?
To find the area of any triangle... divide the length of the base by 2... then multiply the result by the height.
